Indicoder: an extensible system for online annotation

Abstract

Online annotations provide an effective way for distributed individuals to better understand and categorize online content, both from the perspective of distilling information presented into more easily interpretable forms and by supporting content analysis to tag individual statements with their intended meaning. This poster presents Indicoder, an application to support in-place content analysis, allowing users to both annotate online corpora and providing a means of tracking those annotations over time so that living documents such as Wikipedia articles and online sources can be analyzed in their authentic contexts.
